The smallest county is 129 square miles large.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Smallest county = x

Largest county = y

According to given statement;

The largest county in the state of Texas is 6064 square miles larger than the smallest county in the same state.

y = x+6064     Eqn 1

The size of the largest county is 48 times the size of the smallest county plus one square mile.

y = 48x+1         Eqn 2

As Eqn 1 and Eqn 2 are both equal to y, therefore,

Eqn 1 = Eqn 2

x+6064=48x+1\\6064-1=48x-x\\6063=47x\\47x=6063

Dividing both sides by 47

\frac{47x}{47}=\frac{6063}{47}\\x=129\ square \ miles

The smallest county is 129 square miles large.

A store has 80 modems in its inventory, 30 coming from source a and the remainder from source
Mrrafil [7]
The number of defective modems in the inventory is 20%⋅ 30 + 8%⋅ 50 = 10 (out of 80). Note that the number of defectives in the inventory is fixed, i.e., we are not told that there is 1 8 probability that a modem in the inventory is defective, but rather that exactly 1 8 of all modems are defective. The probability that exactly two modems in a random sample of five are defective is = 0.102

A population of values has a normal distribution with μ = 158.9 μ = 158.9 and σ = 90.4 σ = 90.4 . You intend to draw a random sa
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

P_{39}=133.68    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 158.9

Standard Deviation, σ = 90.4

We are given that the distribution is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.39

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 158.9}{90.4})=0.39  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

\displaystyle\frac{x - 158.9}{90.4} = -0.279\\\\x = 133.6784\approx 133.68  

P_{39}=133.68

133.68 separates the bottom 39% means from the top 61% means.

Write the sum of the numbers as the product of their gcf and another sum Problem: 30+54
omeli [17]
The correct answer here is that the sum has to be 84. This is due to the fact that 30 + 54 is 84, and the greatest common factor is 6 because the factors of 30 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 , 10, 15, and 54's Factors: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, and 54, so from this we can see that 6 is the great common factor.
